Looking for a unique way to gather cards from guests at your wedding? These beautiful DIY scalloped edge trays make a lovely statement and are so easy to create on your own. Using just a few products, you can personalize these pretty trays to fit the theme of your wedding. After the wedding is over, these trays would make beautiful decor in your home and always give you a reminder of your special day.
Using white acrylic paint and a foam brush, paint the entire scalloped tray set and allow to completely dry.
Once the paint is dry, take a brown ink pad and dab it all over the edges of the tray to give it a bit of a vintage, weathered look.
Print out images you'd like to use on your trays. I used The Graphics Fairy which is a free image site, to search for the botanical prints I used. Print out the images you would like to use on white paper stock and set aside.
After the trays have dried, coat the bottom of each tray with Mod Modge Acrylic Sealer.
Place the vintage image on top of the Mod Podge covered tray bottom. Brush a light coat of Mod Podge on top of the vintage botanical image to seal it in. Allow the trays to dry completely.
Use one tray as decor by filling it with vintage pieces, terrariums, and plants. Use the other trays as a place to collect wedding cards from guests.
